Srgt. Major C. Heather

Captain Charles Leslie Heather was the brother-in-law of Sergeant Robert Hendry. According to Hendry's obituary from 1918 Captain C. L. Heather was in a prisoner of war camp in Germany for about 1 year.

He was awarded the Distinguished Combat Medal in 1916.

His attestation papers seem to be missing.

In the 1914 Toronto City directory, Charles is listed as the brother of Wilton working with his father in their plumbing firm on the south side of the Lakeshore Road, Mimico.

In the 1921 Toronto City directory he is listed as a roofer living on the west side of Mimico Avenue, Mimico.
